“Lots of US companies, especially pharmaceuticals, set up operations there. The 2008 Financial Crisis hit Ireland hard, but the expansionist period before it was in large part due to the growth of trade with the EU (it had previously been UK-centric), government subsidies for industry, and stability on the island following the Good Friday Accord.“
The US pharmaceutical companies made Ireland great? What?
I think we’re done here.
Ireland “great”? Did I say that?
Did US corporations (especially pharmas) invest hugely in Ireland and spur its financial growth?
Yep.
